Abstract
A positioner positions a guide ruler relative to a workpiece that is adjacent to the guide ruler while more stably retaining the guide ruler at the locked position without causing interference with a cutting operation. A positioner that positions a ruler body relative to a workpiece includes a contact member to be in contact with an edge of the workpiece and extendable along the edge of the workpiece, a support supporting the contact member in a manner rotatable on a lower surface of the ruler body, and a position retainer that retains the contact member at a rotational position.
